Although Zaos hurried, it took him three weeks to finally reach the next target. He had imagined that the place would have fewer guards since, by that time, everyone interested knew that the places that fabricated focus amulets were being attacked, and it wasn't a coincidence. Zaos didn't find the laboratory yet, but he could tell that it was still in the mansion of the most important lord in the area. Because… the place had close to one hundred guards at night.
"They don't seem like royal guards, so I guess the owner of the mansion hired them," Zaos thought.
Zaos could imagine how lucrative it was to sell focus amulets, so each of those families received quite a lot of money. Because of that, they could afford many guards. That was probably necessary because who knows what Dalyor will do with them if they lose their production.
